Foundant's Lead Stratgist for Community Philanthropy, Brad Ward, joins the podcast this week to discuss the ongoing need to have the tools for people to be efficient, successful and effective.
Brad is a former community foundation CEO who led the merger of two community foundations in Indiana and has firsthand experienced with the complexity of big change at a community foundation. With over 2,500 volunteer service hours across Europe, United States, and South America, Brad cares deeply about place, the connections and commitment of the people within their communities, and how important place and belonging matters. Brad resides in Charleston, South Carolina with his wife, two children and rescue dog, and is eager to support community foundations with innovative technological solutions to advance the field.
